Simple program editing

You can ad just the soun d of the preloaded p rograms to

your taste by m odifying the p itch, tone, or volume, andby ed iting the cont roller and effect settings. You can also

create sounds from scratch. Such operations are

referred to as editing.

In this section, well guid e you throu gh some simp le

editing examples using the Performance Editor and th e

Realtime Controls.

Performance Editor

You can u se the eight Performan ce Editor sliders to mod -

ify the sound . Adjusting these sliders will affect mu ltiple

param eters of the program.

1 Press the [PROG] key (it will light).Youre in Program mod e. Make sure that the Pro-gram Play P0: Play, Performance Edit p age is dis-

played.

If this is not d isplayed , press th e [EXIT] key and then

2 Choose the program whose sound y ou w ant tomodify. (p.4)

3 Select the Performance Editor, and use the [ ][ ]keys or [VALUE] sliders to adjust the value s.

Octave: Indicates the octave setting.

Pitch Stretch: Simultaneously ad justs the transpose

and tun e settings of the oscillator. This allows you to

produ ce a variety of tonal changes w ithout losingthe character of the original soun d.

This is par ticularly effective for acoustic-type pro-

gram s such as gu itar, bass, or piano. Select various

programs and try this out.

OSC Balance:Ad justs the level balance between

oscillators 1 and 2.

Amp Level: Indicates the am p level. This will adjust

the volume of the entire program.

Attack Time: Indicates the attack tim e of the filter

EG and am p EG. This will adjust the speed of the

attack from note-on.

In ord er to m aximize the effect of the Attack Time

ad justm ent, the am p EG Start Level, Attack Level,Start Level Modu lation, and Attack Time Mod ula-

tion param eters are also ad justed.

De cay Time: This indicates and adjusts the decay

time and slope time of the filter EG and am p EG.IFX Balance: This simu ltaneou sly adjusts the Wet/

Dry balance of all insert effects.

MFX Balance: This simultaneously adjusts the

Return 1 and 2 param eters of the master effects.

Pitch Stretch cannot be u sed on program s in bank F.

OSC Balance: For programs whose Oscillator Mode

(Program P1: Edit-Basic, Program Basic page) setting is

Single, oscillator 2 will not sou nd . Only the level of

oscillator 1 will change. For a Dru ms p rogram, this per-

formance editor will have no effect.

Depending on the settings of the program p arameters,

the result ma y not be n oticeable.

To reset the selected Performance Editor to the valuesaved w ith the current program, press nu meric key [0]

and then press the [ENTER] key.

The content that is controlled w ill depen d on the fil-

ter type specified by the p rogram.

By ad justing th e filter resonance level, you can

increase or decrease the resonance level to ad d a

unique character to the sound .

Adjusting the cutoff frequency of the high-pass fi lter

will modify the fullness of the sound from w hich thelow frequency range has been filtered out.

Knob [3]: EG-INTENSITY

Adjusts the filter EG intensity (the depth at which

the filter EG is applied).

Rotating the kn ob will affect the dep th of the filter

EG. Nor mally, rotating the knob tow ard th e left will

app ly the filter EG less deep ly, and rotat ing it

toward the right will apply the filter EG more

deep ly. Since the filter EG will operate based on th e

cutoff frequen cy of the filter, knobs [1] and [3] will

work together to control the tonal changes produ ced

by the filter.

Knob [4]: EG-RELEASE

Ad justs the release times of the filter EG and th eamp EG. This will determine the amou nt of time

from note-off until the sound disappears.

When you adjust the knob , the release times of the

filter EG and the am p EG will chan ge. Norm ally,

rotating the knob toward the left will shorten the

release time, and rotating it toward the right w ill

lengthen the release time.

B-mode controls

param eters such as volume, portamento time, pan,

filter and amp EG, pitch LFO, and master effect send

levels etc.

In each of the preloaded p rograms and combina-

tions, fun ctions have been assigned to the B-mod e

knobs. The B-mod e functions can be set for each

individual p rogram, combination, or song.

In Samp ling m ode an d Song Play mod e, the B-mode

also affect the effect of the vacuu m tube. You can

ad just th is if raising the Ultra Boost setting pro-

du ces an un wanted type of distortion.

Knob [2]: ULTRA BOOS T

Ad justs the m ix level being sent to the ultra boost

(ultra low frequen cy boost) circuit located in the ini-tial stage of Valve Force. If you tu rn th is knob all the

wa y towa rd th e left, the ultra boost circuit w ill be

bypassed. Turning th e knob tow ard the right will

boost the low range, and simu ltaneously emp hasize

the ed ge. This is especially effective with kick and

bass drum.

Knob [3]: TUBE GAIN

Ad justs the level of the signal being sent to th e vac-

uu m tu be. Rotating this knob to the right will

increase the amoun t of the warm tonal character and

distortion that is typical of a vacuum tube.

Knob [4]: OUTPUT LEVEL

Ad justs th e Valve Force outp ut level. This lets youadjust the signal level while maintaining the tonal

characteristics of the Valve Force circuit. If an

unw anted typ e of distortion occurs in the outpu t, or

if ADC OVERLOAD !! ap pear s in th e d isplay, use

this knob to lower th e level un til this indication d oes

Simple combination editing

You can start w ith one of the preload ed combin ations

and mod ify it to your ow n liking, or create a combina-tion from scratch.

Up to eight Timbres can be assigned to a combination to

create a complex soun d. A timbre consists of a program

together with various p arameters to control that p ro-

gram.

You can create keyboard splits or layers in w hich d iffer-

ent programs w ill sound w hen you play different areas

of the keyboard or v ary your p laying strength.

Heres how to change the p rograms that are assigned to

a preloaded combination, and h ow to adjust the pan and

volume settings.

Arpeggio Tab

Simple arpeggiator editing

The arpeggiator is a function that automatically gener-

ates arpeggios (broken chords). Most arpeggiators pro-

du ce an arpeggio when you p lay a chord on the

keyboard.

In ad dition to t his, the TRITON Extremes arpeg giator is

a p olyphonic arpeggiator that is able to produ ce a vari-ety of chordal transformations or ph rases based on the

pitch or timing of the notes you p lay on the keyboard.

These functions let you use the arpeggiator to play a

wide range of patterns including d rum or bass phrases,

and gu itar or key board backing riffs. It is also effective to

use the arpeggiator as part of the sound -creating p rocess

wh en creating su btly-moving p ads, synth-sound s, or

soun d effects.

The TRITON Extreme p rovides five p reset arpeggio p at-

terns (the stand ard UP, DOWN , ALT1, ALT2, and RAN-

DOM), and lets you create, program and store 507 user

arpeggio patterns; and 367 of these user arpeggiator

locations contain preloaded patterns. (

Realtime recording

Realtime recording is a meth od of recording in w hich

your performance on th e keyboard and controllers (joy-

stick etc.) is recorded as is. In this exam ple, lets use

realtime recording to record the keyboard p art.

7 Use Track Sel ect to select the track that you w antto record. In this example, select Track02: Bass.

Press the SEQUENCER [START/ STOP] key to p lay

back, so you can rehearse the phrase you w ant to

record. When you are finished rehearsing, press the

SEQUENCER [START/ STOP] key to stop playback.

Press the [LOCATE] key.

When recording rapid or difficult phrases, you can

slow dow n the temp o and record at a more comfortable

tempo. Simply adjust the (Tempo). After recording,restore the original tempo.

You can use th e Quantize and Resolution functions to

correct the timing of your performance as it is recorded.

For examp le during realtime recording, suppose that

you inp ut eighth notes at slightly inaccurate timing, as

shown in line 1 of the diagram below. If you set Reso

(Resolution) to and performed realtime recording, thetiming wou ld autom atically be corrected as shown in

line 2. With a sett ing ofHi , the performance will berecorded w ith the exact timing at which it was played.

Independent of this function, there is also a page

menu command Quantize (P5: Track Edit, Track

Edit page) that can be u sed to correct the timing of

performance data that has already been recorded. If

data (recorded without u sing Realtime Qu antize)

falls at the timings show n in the abov e figure 1, then

wh en played back, it will be corrected to the timings

shown in figure 2 if you set Quantize to a Reso-

lution of and p ress the OK button.You can u se Quantize to ad d a sense of swing.

10 When you are satisfied with your performance,press the SEQUENCER [START/STOP] key to stop

recording.

For examp le if your p erformance in measures 58 was

the best take, you can use the Track Play Loop function

to repeatedly p lay back just th is portion.

In the P0: Play/ REC, PlayLoop T0108 pag e, check

Track Play Loop for tr ack 2, set Loop Start Measur e

to 005, and set Loop End Measure to 008.

When you p ress th e SEQUENCER [START/ STOP] key,

repeated p layback w ill begin.

After you press t he SEQUENCER [START/ STOP] key

to stop playback. You w ill automatically return to the

measure at w hich recording began. We recommend th at

you p ress the [LOCATE] key to return to the beginning

of the song.

11 In the same w ay, use Track Se lect to choo se Track03: Elec.Piano, and record about 16 measures.

Realtime-recording an arpeggio pattern

The performance of an arp eggio pattern can be recorded
